Comments Thread For: Arum, Team Parker Outraged Over Referee For Fury Defense

[Boxing42]

The BBBoC ignored Top R...... i mean WBO's request? Arum and his fighters shouldn't talk about neutrality when it's obvious to anyone that the WBO is in Arum's pocket.

Truer words have never been spoken!

This is even more de****able than the judge Leszek Jankowiak, that gave martin murray every single rd in his fight with rosado that rosado won imo the other Grzegorz Molenda had it 116-112 also crazy.

The only reassuring thing is that the fury's hate Eddie hearn so hopefully the judges wont be as biased as when his hometown judges gift his fighters literally every rd. The sad thing is that I really do consider Murray a braveheart journeyman if ever there was one. He gained my respect vs martinez but that was a completely homecooked decision,the board didn't care then either.

Arum is wrong, the referee is not English. He's Irish.

The surest way to get punched in the face is to call someone named O'Connor "an Englishman".

O'Connor is too old and too fat to make much of a difference anyway.

"When the English get on their high horse they get really haughty and there was no dealing with them."



Sounds like some of the English posters around here.

I might have to take back what I said about arum after that

This really is just a continuation of the ongoing screwjob. First, Hughie and Co bail out of the fight when it was scheduled in New Zealand - not even bothering to enter into the country beforehand, despite all DUCO did to find a passage around NZ's pretty tough laws, for Uncle Fury to get in alongside Hughie.

Then, they get the fight shifted onto Hughie's home turf, while they continue to skirt around the issue of whether or not Hughie was allowed to fight in a sanctioned fight - a situation only magnified by the ridiculous "exhibition" fights Hughie was in.

And now this?

Joseph Parker needs to knock Hughie out. And even then, it might not be enough to get the W.

****ing ridiculous.

Huguie Fury have home advantages

Fury is gonna need all the help he can get in that fight.

And the interesting thing is, I smell a robbery here. Parker need a KO/TKO badly, he is against all the odds. I saw this coming. Huguie Fury is not ready to this level. I don't like it one bit this disturbing news.

Naw, you were right about that.

Arum should be the last person to complain about fairness and neutrality when he is deep in bed with the WBO.

Joseph Parker will defend his world heavyweight WBO title against Hughie Fury in Manchester next weekend. The British Boxing Board of Control has named British referee Terry O'Connor, the same official in charge of Hughie Fury's last two bouts to control the fight. Parker says it's a "hometown" appointment.

knock him out Joe

He is the worth ref in the UK bar none, but what did you expect going over there??

Fury is nothing to write home about, but Parker ain't that good and will have his work cut out for him. No way he's handed a decision without putting some serious hurt on Fury.
